How to get each page to have title from Navigation Pane

D

David Lewis

I have an existing site that came from a front page theme.
It got screwed up where every page shows the same title
I want each page to have title text at the top of the page the
matches the navigation pane or better yet matches the
page properties title

To have each page display its Navigation View name, add a Page Banner
component to the page (or to your DWT or shared border).

To have each page display its title, add the script
<script>documetn.write(document.title);</script>
wherever you want the title to appear.

how do I edit the code for the banner?
In the design tab I can edit the banner and it updates all the pages
but I see no way of adding the code <script>documetn.write(document.title);</script>

Switch to HTML (code view)...the tab at the bottom of the screen.

Themes control the appearance of the buttons, but not their text and not
their hyperlink locations.

Normally, the title text appears because the page contains a Page Banner
component. The Page Banner component displays the page name you assinged in
Navigation view.

Even if you didn't know it, you were probably using shared borders to
replicate Page Banner components into each page. My guess is that you
replaced the Page Banner component on one page with some plain text, and
didn't realize that any change you make to a shared border gets replicated to
*every* page that uses that border.

So, on any page that displays the duplicated page title, delete the
offending text and replace it with a Page Banner component. If your
Navigation view diagram is correct, this should fix all the pages.

Note, howver, that this solution wil only be correct if all my guesswork is
correct. Without knowing exactly what you did wrong, I can't tell you exactly
how to undo it.
